I've seen a few people questioning the cost effectiveness of this strike. The unit cost of the missiles fired was around $600k in FY95/96 dollars (when they were ordered). Their book value today was very marginal. Russia lost (conservatively) a dozen multi-million dollar helos. https://t.co/gzMvJHvdju pic.twitter.com/b0NP7177m7

Data matter. I'm especially struck by the majorities supporting Ukraine in BRICS countries India, South Africa, and Brazil. https://t.co/LOj1fYiwGb
